If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

I just acquired a brand new, crispy Rev II from the early 90s from a collection of mostly single line kites. We have a Rev EXP and the handles are longer. Is there any collector value to this kite having never been flown? Do the short handles fly differently?

One of the funnest rev offerings ever imo. The Rev II was (is) considerably smaller than the Rev I, and quite frisky and manoeuvreable, so theoretically less leverage is needed -- thus the smaller handles. Fliers do develop their own preferences but I use both short and long depending on what kite I have already out as much as anything. But I am a hacker.

I would think that a brand new unused Rev II would hold value quite well, especially for a collector.

Seeing as they....the Rev 2... aren't made anymore they very well should be desirable and relatively collectable as any rev flier should have a 2 around (I have 4 of 'em myself).They originally had the shorter handles....however like midibot I as well will change handles depending on wind speed. Did you get lines as well...if so are they Kevlar?Do you have a pic? What sail does it have as 2's came in single panel, three panel, and a Sedgwick layout....bt
